This  iuvcution  relates  to  certain  new  and 
useful  improvements  in  plcnvs  for  breaking  and 
working  rough  ground  ;  and  the  object  of  the 
present  invention  is  to  produce  a  plow  that 
will  yield  or  lelieve  itself  from  any  olistruc 
tioiis — such  as  stones,  roots,  or  stumps — that 
may  come  in  contact  with  the  points  in  the  line 
of  (Irait,  without  lifting  of  the  plow  by  the  op- 
erator, or  strain  upon  the  team,  thus  decreas- 
ing and  lightening  the  labor  of  both.  A  fur- 
ther oliject  is  to  provide  a  means  whereby  the 
plow  may  be  leadily  drawn  Irom  one  place  to 
another  without  till  II I  ng  it  upon  the  side,  there-

My  invention  is  an  improvement  on  the  de- 
vices shown  iu  Letters  Patent  No.  239,219, 
granti'd  March  22, 18SI,  Ibr.snpporting  the  ro- 
tary plows  and  traction-wheels.  Li  that  pat- 
ent the  rotary  disks  were  journaled  on  swiv- 
eJed  standards  with  adjustable  bearings  and 
braces,  for  adjustment  toward  each  other  and 
to  diflerent  angles  to  the  line  of  draft.  The 
awiveled  axle-standard  was  held  in  position 
from  moving  sidewise  by  a  side  brace  attached 
to  the  crossbeam  of  the  machine  and  to  the 
standard  uear  the  axle  by  means  of  a  strap  or 
band  connection.  To  this  strap  or  band  was 
secured  a  spindle  uroieciin^  outward  from  the 
machine,  upon  which  the  da^nd-lever  uavmg  a 
traction-wheel  attached  was  pivoted.  There 
was  also  a  brace  attached  to  a  plate  or  wfisher 
on  the  axle  between  the  disk  and  upright  stand- 
ard, extending  to  the  forward  cross-beam  of  the 
machine.  The  draft-bar  was  also  connected  to 
this  plate  or  washer  ou  the  axle,  the  forward 
end  supported  by  a  chain  secured  to  the  cross- 
beam above.  This  raodeofattachiug  the  braces 
to  hold  the  axle-standard  and  support  the 
swinging  traction-wheels,  and  also  the  manner 
of  connecting  tlje  draft-bar,  is  not  considered 
sufficiently  strong  and  rigid  for  the  work  the 
machine  has  to  perform  ;  so  I  have  devised  a 
form  of  axle-support  to  which  the  brace-rods 
and  draft  bar  c;ui  bo  attached,  possessing  the 
requisite  amount  of  strength  and  durability, 
that  will  overcome  the  objections  found  in  the

of  segmental  i»l;ites  binged  toand  foriuingtlie 
surface  and  periphery  of  a  cylindrical  fniTnc 
or  roller,  to  wliicli  a  revolving  motion  i-s  im- 
parted by  suitable  mechanism  as  it  is  drawn 
along'  over  the  .'surface  of  the  ground.  These 
plates  are  altaclied  at  one  side  or  edge  to  the 
surface  of  the  fi-amo  or  roller  by  hinge  joints 
in  such  niauuerthat  by  the  revolving  motion 
of  the  roller  thoy  are  alternately  thrown  out 
radially  from  its  periphery  into  a  position  to 
drop  agair.st  and  be  drawn  over  the  soil  be- 
neath them  as  the  machine  progresses,  and 
are  thou  folded  or  brought  back  into  place  and 
position  on  the  roller.  By  this  constnictioii 
;iad  mode  of  opeiution  the  harrow  has  both  a 
broakingand  pnlvcrizingaction  and  aharrow- 
ing  and  leveling  oi)ei-ation  as  it  is  drawn  over 
the  ground. 

The  second  part  of  my  inveution  consists  in 
the  combination,  witit  the  revolving  hari-ow 
audclod-pulverizfr,  of  novel  moans  forgiving 
to  it  the  rcrinired  movement  of  revolution  dur- 
ing the  progressive  movement  over  1  he  ground, 
by  which  also  the  harrow  can  be  thrown  into 
and  out  of  aclion  at  any  time  during  work. 

Another  part  of  my  improvement  relates  to 
a  novel  frame  and  running-gear  for  support- 
ing and  Ciirrying  the  revolving  liurrow  in  po- 
sition for  work,  and  also  for  receiving  and 
holding  in  working  relation  to  the  liarrow  a 
seed,  grain,  fertilizer,  or  manure  hojjper  and

which,  when  de-sired,  tiieoper.itions  of  sowing 
or  distributing  such  matter  and  of  covering 
it  up  or  harroM'ing  it  into  the  soil  can  bo  per- 
formed simultaneously  by  and  during  the  one 
forward  movemcut  or  progression  of  the  ma- 
cliine.  By  means  of  this  part  of  my  improve 
meut  (he  harrow  can  be  employed  in  operat- 
ing upon  the  soil  to  bring  it  into  proper  con- 
dition for  sowing,  and  then,  by  placing  within 
the  frame  in  front  of  the  harrow  ase^d  sowing 
anddistributiug  device,  the  same  machine  can 
be  used  successfully  and  to  great  advantage 
in  sowing  andeoveriugseeds  andinother  and 
similar  operations.

The  object  of  the  invention  involved  in  the 
subject  niatler  of  this  speciheation  is  to  pro- 
duce a  more  perfect adjustuientof  (he cultiva- 
tor-shovel upon  itsstaudard.  Oneof  thegreat 
difllcnities  in  the  way  of  the  successtul  opera- 
tiDO  of  cultivators  is  to  malte  the  shovels  scour 
nuder  all  circumstances.  The  couplings  in 
common  use  provide  means  for  turning  the 
shovel  in  the  seat  in  which  it  rests,Hud  when 
turned  to  either  side  the  fnetiou  is  largely 
thrown  to  the  side  to  which  it  is  turned,  and 
the  shovel  is  thus  placeil  in  an  unfavorable 
position  to  scour.  By  means  of  uiy  improve- 
ment, hereinafter  de.-'crihed,  I  am  enabled  lo 
turu  the  shovel  on  tlie  standaid,  and  niso  at 
the  same  time  to  place  its  poiut  in  a  position 
auas  to  disinbnte  the  pressure  more  evenly 
over  the  whole  surface  of  the  shovel,  thereby 
causing  it  to  scour  nioro  perfectly,  ami  to  han- 
dle more  soil  and  with  less  liability  to  injure 
the  roots  of  the  corn. 

T.I  the  accomplishment  of  the  above  results 
the  inventiou  consists  priiu;ipally  iu  interpos- 
ing a  block  or  washer  between  the  standard 
and  the  shoo  or  casting  to  which  the  shovel  is 
secured,  the  same  to  be  of  the  shape  and  size 
to  conlorm  with  and  accommodate  the  various 
models  of  such  shoes  or  castings,  all  as  more

My  invention  has  relation  to  that  class  of 
ileviees  or  attachments  which  are  adapted  to 
e.-iercise  a  gradually -increasing  pull  upon  a 
ebaiii  secured  at  one  end  tlioreof,  and  is  there- 
fore particularly  adapted  as  an  altacbrnciit  to 
walking  and  riding  culIi\atoi's,  sidky- rakes,

Iirovided  with  shovel  or  teeth  carrying  beUms

or  lowered  to  bting  tlie  sliovels  or  teeth,  as 
ihe  case  may  be,  out  of  or  into  operation  oi 
contact  with  the  sod.  To  raise  the  hinged 
beams  of  implements  cf  this  nature  u|)  from 
the  grouml  requires  the  exertion  of  consider- 
ablo  power,  the  foi'ce  or  power  required  for 
this  purpose  increasing  in  the  same  ratio  as

esseutially,  of  a  cam-shea\e  which  is  turned' 
by  the  force  of  a  spriug  and  connected  to  one 
cnil  of  the  chain,  which,  on  being  wound  np 
by  the  sheave,  raises  the  beams,  so  that  very 
little  power  is  required  for  this  operation  of 
raising  the  beam  or  beams,  as  the  force  of  the

arched  at  the  midille  to  pass  over  the  stand- 
ing corn,  is  provided  at  its  two  ends  with  sus- 
taiuing-wheels  and  with  rearwardly-estending 
beams,  the  latter  being  provided  with  shovels 
to  enter  the  ground,  and  being  join  ted  at  their 
forward  euds  to  the  frame  in  such  manner 
that  they  may  swing  both  laterally  aud  verti- 
cally. 

The  inventiiin  relates  to  an  improved  man- 
ner of  constructing  the  frame  and  applying 
the  springs  for  the  r-nrpose  of  raising  or  assist- 
ing theoperator  to  raise  the  beams  or  drag-bars, 
the  springs  having  in  some  cases  the  addi- 
tional function  of  holding  the  shovels  to  their 
proper  places  iu  the  ground. 

The  improvement  consists  maiuly  in  provid- 
ing the  frame  with  axles  capable  of  rotating 
independently  of  the  wheels,  coupling  the 
wheels  directly  to  sa'd  axles,  aid  providing 
the  axles  with  'irma  arranged  to  eo-operate 
with  a  spring,  a  weight,  or  with  draft  devices 
to  which  tbe  team  is  attached,  as  hereinafter 
more  fully  explained. 

As  regards  the  combination  of  the  loosely 
revolving  axles  with  the  beams  and  lifting 
springs  or  other  equivalents,  the  invention  is 


designed  more  particuhirly  as  an  improvement 
upon  those  machines  iu  which  tlic  axle  is  sta 
tionary  and  the  beams  and  springs  combined 
with  sleeves  or  coupling-boxes  arranged  to  ro 
tate  upon  the  axles. 

One  of  the  primary  objects  of  llic  invention 
is  to  avoid  the  use  of  tiic  rotating  sleeves  oi

which  my  Patent  >'o.  100,810,  granted  May  15, 
1877,  is  a  type — that  is  to  say,  in  which  an  ele- 
vated tongue  is  connected  to  the  upper  part  of 
a  crank-axle  whose  lower  ends  are  loounted  up- 
on wheels,  between  which  wheels  and  the  ver- 
tical section  of  the  crank -axle  is  located  a 
coupling  attachment  for  the  plows  or  cultiva-

any  tendency  to  sway  sidewise,  and  make  them 
travel  more  directly  in  lino  with  the  point  of 
attachment  with  the  axle  or  truck,  and  also  to 
prevent  the  springs  (when  applied  to  the  plow 
coupling  or  head)  from  polling  the  plowsarouud

In  my  improvements  I  aim  to  overcome  some 
objectionable  results  from  springs  now  used  in 
wheeled  cultivators.  That  I  may  be  more 
readily  understood  I  will  refer  lo  the  springs 
in  general  use  and  the  results.  First,  a  spriug 
so  constructed  and  adjusted  as  to  exert  an  up- 
ward or  raising  force  upon  the  plow-beam,  also 
to  exert  a  downward  or  depressing  force  upon 
the  plow-beam,  depends  for  this  result  upon 
the  plow-beam  passing  above  or  belowa  given 
point  It  is  apparent,  therefore,  if  the  ground 
be  uneven  the  spring  will  exert  a  force  when 
least  needed,  or  a  force  in  the  opposite  direc- 
tionofthatreqoired.  Ifaportionoftbegrouud 
be  hard,  as  compared  with  other  (wrtions,  or 
very  eoft,  it  will  be  seen  that  springs  of  this 
class  may  work  improperly. 

Another  class  of  springs  in  general  use  are 
those  which  exert  acontinuoos  upward. or  rais- 
ing lorceqpon  thei)low-beam,andin  this  class, 
uuless  the  plows  are  firmly  held  in  the  ground 
by  the  operator,  the  teiideucy  is  for  the  plows 
to  rise  out  of  the  ground,  or  partially  so,  in 
striking  hard  soil.  The  springs  now  in  com- 
mon use  are  constructed  with  other  parts  so  as 
to  freqneutlv  get  out  of  repair,  and  they  also 
take  up  much  of  the  space  between  the  wheel 
and  arch. 

Another  objeotion  existing  in  wheeled  cul- 
tivators now  in  use  is  the  inability  to  use  an 
areh  of  sufflciont  width  to  avoid  injuring  the 
stalks  of  corn  whtii  at  an  advanced  stage  of 
growth,  and  yet  permit  the  cultivation  of  the 
corn  in  an  early  stageof  itsgrowthsufflciently 
near  to  the  plants  without  the  operator  using 
cousiderablo  power  to  hold  the  plow-beams  so 
as  to  bring  the  plows  near  to  the  plants. 

It  can  bo  readily  seen  that  whenever  the 
plows  follow  in  a  direct  line  from  where  the 
beam  is  atuched  to  the  axle  it  is  easier  furthe 
operator :  but  if  the  operator  is  required  to 


hold  the  beam  iu  sueU  position  that  the  plows 
will  be  in  the  ground  at  the  right  or  left  of 
snch  direotliueit  requires  Ihe  exertion  of  more 
or  less  strength  by  the  operator,  aud  is  neces- 
sarily very  fatiguiug.  1  obviate  tlus  objec- 
tion'by  a  device  which  I  shall  more  fully  ex- 
plain hereinafter,  whereby  I  can  so  regulate 
the  connection  of  the  front  end  of  the  plow- 
beam  to  the  axle  as  to  have  such  point  of  con- 
nection ins'do  of  tlic  arch  or  outside  thereof,

Ill  a  cultivator  having  ray  improvement  at- 
tached, when  in  nse  ou  a  bill-Bide,  tbe  spring 
on  the  side  of  tbe  cultivator  on  the  upper  side 
of  the  hill  is  connected  with  t_he  bracket-plate 
antl  adjusted  in  its  connection  therewith  as 
near  as  may  be  within  tbe  provisions  of  the 
device  to  exert  a  sufficient  force  to  hold  tbe 
shovel-beams  in  a  position  substantially  par- 
allel with  tbe  direction  of  its  forward  move- 
ments, and  in  sach  a  manner  as  to  enable  tbe 
operator  without  extra  exertion  to  carry  the 
sbovel-beams  to  either  side  for  the  purpose  ot 
properly  cultivatiog  the  plants,  substantially 
in  tbe  same  mauuer  as  in  tbe  nse  of  tbe  culti- 
vator on  level  land  without  the  employmentof 
my  improvement.  Thesesprings  are  arranged 
on  both  aides  of  the  machiiiG  in  such  a  man- 
ner that  either  can  be  used  to  adapt  tbe  ma- 
chine for  use  in  a  ba^k-and-fortb  movement 
on  tbe  same  hillside  or  in  the  same  direction 
on  opposite  hill-sides.  In  this  instance  I  have 
employed  a  spiral  spring  in  one  piece,  having 
a  slipping  or  sliding  connection  on  their 
bracket-supports  ou  tbe  main  frame  to  permit 
of  a  lateral  movement  of  the  shovel-beams  be- 
yond tbe  capacity  of  the  springs;  but  this  same 
result  can  bo  obtained  without  tbe  slipping 
action  of  the  spring  by  tbe  employment  of  a 
ceut rally-link-jointed  two-part  Spring,  in  which 
instance  its  outer  end  may  have  a  suitably 
fixed  link  or  hiiig'"  connection  with  the  main 
frame.  , 

From  the  foregoiug  it  will  be  seen  that  I 
produce  a  spring-conneclion  between  the  main 
frame  and  the  shovel  beams  of  tbe  cultivator, 
by  which  I  render  it  an  ellicient  machine  for 
tbe  cultivation  of  crops  on  the  bill-side.

The  principal  object  of  our  said  invention 
i.s  to  produce  a  cultivator  in  which  the  gangs 
of  plows  are  adapted  to  be  drawn  independ- 
ently of  each  other,  and  arc  jjermitted  to  move 
back  and  forth  as  the  animals  drawing  them 
move  ahead  or  drop  behind  one  another,  while 
at  the  same  time  they  are  connected  together 
through  the  axle.  This  object  is  accomplished 
by  making  the-axle  in  two  ])ieces,  each  of 
which  is  independently  mounted  in  bearings 
on  the  tongue,  and  are  connected  together' by 
a  gear,  connecting-rod,  belt,  or  some  similar

devices,  substantially  as  described,  whereby 
they  are  permitt-ed  to  vary  in  their  relative 
positions  in  the  line  of  advancement  without 
changing  the  course  of  the  plows  or  varying 
the  distance  between  them  laterally,  substan-

Tbo  object  of  tbe  present  invcnlioii  is  to 
obviate  certain  minor  defects  of  the  sulky- 
carriage  for  plows  forming  the  subject-matter 
of  Leltors  Patent  No.  247,440,  granted  jointly 
to  myself  aud  Kufus  Wasliburu  on  tbe  20tb 
day  of  September,  1881.  In  die  patent  re- 
ferred to  a  caster-wbeel  travels  on  tbe  ground 
directly  iu  rear  of  tbo  landside  portion  of  tbo 
plow,  and  serves  to  take  tbo  weight  thereof. 
A  CHSter-wheel  so  located  lias  a  tendency  to 
throw  too  much  weight  on  the  necks  of  the 
draft  animals,  and  where  the  ground  is  un- 
even, causing  llio  tongue  to  be  raiacti,  tbe 
plow  is  raised  in  proportion,  aod  when  tbo 
point  of  the  tongue  is  lowered  tbo  caster- 
wheel  is  thrown  otl  the  ground,  in  which  event 
tbe  weight  on  the  plow  will  bo  too  great. 
Kurtbcrmore,  a  wheel  located  as  in  the  pat- 
ent referred  to  cannot  bo  used  to  advantage 
with  plows  possessing  handles,  because  the 
wheel  must  be  arranged  so  close  to  the  land- 
side-bar  as  to  interfere  with  tbe  handles  and 
prevent  the  plowman  from  properly  guiding 
the  plow.

and  the  novelty  consists  in  pivoting  the  plow- 
beam  to  tho  frame  so  that  it  may  have  a  free 
lateral  inovement  on  each  side  of  a  locked  po 
sitioii  which  corresponds  to  tbe  line  of  draft. 

It  further  consists  in  pivoting  the  beam  to 
the  axis  to  admit  of  a  vertical  motion,  com 
bined  with  mechanism  whereby  the  plow  may 
be  raised  or  lowered  at  will,  and  so  arranged

Plons  known  as  "swivel"  or  "reversible" 
plows  have  had  serious  obstacles  to  prevent 
them  from  being  practicably  applied  to  sulky 
orriding  plows.  Tlie  reason  isobvious — that  it 
wouldboentirely  impracticable  for  tbeoperator 
while  riding  npon  the  carriage  of  a  sulky-plow 
to  undertake  in  any  way  to  reverse  tho  mold- 
board  of  an  ortlinnry  swivel-plow.  Should  the 
operator  leave  his  seat  to  reverse  the  mold- 
boanl  at  the  end  of  each  furrow,  it  would  put 
him  to  go  niMcli  extra  trouble  that  it  would  be 
considered  impracticable.  Thecommon  swivel- 
plow  of  ordinary  constructiou  is  not  capable 
of  being  used  to  advantage  in  a  sulky -plow. 
The  object  of  my  inventiou  is  to  provide  a 
sutky-plow  haying  all  the  advantages  and  do- 
ing the  work  of  nn  ordinary  swivel-plow.  My 
improved  sulky-plow  is  constructed  to  turu  a 
furrow  to  tho  right-hand  side  while  beingdriven 
in  one  direction,  and  to  turn  a  furrow  to  the 
loft-hand  si Ju  while  being  driven  in  the  oppo- 
site direction,  allowing  the  operator,  while  in 
the  eeat  and  riding  npon  the  carriage  of  tho 
sulky-plow,  to  reverse  the  plows  from  right  to 
left,  or  vice  versa ;  also^iu  socotistrucling  the 
BDlky-plow  that  the  carnage  wheelscan  be  both 
raised  and  lowered  on  each  side  of  the  main  car- 
riage-frame to  correspond  with  the  change  of 
plows  from  right  to  left  or  left  to  right ;  also, 
in  80  constructing  the  details  of  my  improved 
Bolky  plow  as  to  more  especially  adapt  the  ma- 
chine for  the  work  re<|aired  as  more  fully  set 
forth  in  the  following  specification  and  claims. 

1.  Thecoiubiuationof  the  two  centrally-piv- 
oted parallel  biirs  ('  and  1),  connecting  the 
axles  j  j,  raising  one  ns  the  other  is  lowered, 
and  holding  tho  axlea  in  their  horizontal  posi- 
tions, substantially  as  described. 

2.  The  combination  of  the  haud-levcr  U  with 
coiinoctions  for  0|)erating  or  raising  and  low-

3.  The  combination  of  the  right  and  left 
hand  plows  with  tho  primary  haudlcver  H,  by 
means  of  which  either  plow  can  be  raised  from

This  invention  relates  to  iiujirovemeuts  in 
gang-plows,  and  more  particularly  to  that  class 
of  gang-plows  in  which  the  plows  are  attached 
to  a  separate  frame  which  connects  by  a  hinge 
withatruck, so  that  by  drawing  the  truck  over 
the  surface  of  the  ground  the  plows  are  caused 
to  act  on  the  soil  to  any  required  depth;  but 
it  may  be  applied  to  any  form  of  gang  or  sulky 
jdow,  and  is  especially  adapted  for  use  upou 
uneven  ground  and  in  plowingside  hill  ground ; 
and  the  object  of  my  improvement  is  to  pro- 
vide a  means  whereby  the  points  of  the  plows 
can  be  turned  to  or  from  the  "land."  This  ob- 
ject I  accomplish  by  means  of  the  mechanism

di-uwu  from  the  soil  when  the  power  is  applietl 
on  a  line  at  an  angleto  the  line  of  draft,  where- 
by said  plow  point  or  share  is  again  made  to 
atdomatically  engage  with  and  penetrate  the 
soil  as  soou  as  such  power  is  applied  in  a  di- 
rection with  the  lino  of  diuft,  whereby  the

The  nature  of  the  invention  consists  iu  the 
vertically-adjustable  revolving  colter  placed 
on  the  landward  side  of  the  plow,  at  a  suitable 
distance  therefrom,  to  cut  the  soil  for  a  fur- 
row in  advance  of  the  one  being  turned,  all 
as  will  now  be  more  fully  set  out  and  ex-

This  invention  is  intended  to  remedy  the 
difficulty  frequently  experienced  in  drilling  in 
hanl  gi-ouud,  where  the  hoes  fail  to  pass  suffi- 
ciently into  the  ground  when  it  is  harder  than 
usual.  In  such  c:isc  the  common  practice  has 
been  to  load  the  hoes  by  hanging  weights  on 
tho  drag  bars.  3Iy  improvement  consists  in 
attachuig  springs  to  a  roller  or  oscillating  bar 
ojierated  by  a  crank,  or  equivalent  mechan- 
ism, tho  springs  pressing  against  the  uppei 
face  of  the  drag-bar,  and  pressing  them  dowL 
with  a  force' depending  upon  the  tension  of 
tlie  springs.  The  sjjriugs  beiiiiug  against  the 
upper  side  of  the  drag-bars  do  not  interfere 
with  the  movement  of  the  drag-bar  forward

This  invention  relates  to  that  class  o I  ma- 
chines, generally  wheeled,  which  have  verti- 
cally-swinging beams  or  drag-bars  to  carry 
the 'shovels  or  plow  points;  and  tho  object  of 
the  invention  is  to  render  the  oiwrations  ol 
the  machine  easier  and  less  laborious  to  the 
attendants  by  applying  springs  thereto  in  such 
manner  that  they  will  assist  the  operator  in 
raising  the  beams  anil  shovels  attached  thei-c- 
to  from  their  operative  to  their  inoperative

position. 

The  spring,  opei:itinginaccor«.lance\vith  my 
improved  plan,  may  bo  inntio  and  applied  in 
vari6u.s  fonns, winch  willreadilysnggeatlhem- 
selves  to  tho skilled  inccliaiiie  without  depart 
inj;  fioni  tho  limits  of  my  invention; 

My  springs  may  be  arranged  to  siisliihi  the 
rthulo  or  any  desired  iiorliou  of  the  weight  of 
tho  beams  w  hon  tho  latter  arc  rrtised.and  they 
may  bo  arranged  to  exerta'slight  lifting  strai,n 
v/hen  tho  bcams'aro'ln  action,  or,  if  preferred, 
arranged  to  cease  (heir  lil'tiug  strain  entirely 
at  ench.  timo. 

The  essential  feature  of  my  invention  con- 
sists ill  appIyiiigNi  lifting  spring  or  springs  in 
such  luaniiDr  that  they  ilo  Tiot  incrcaao  their 
lifting  strain  as  tho  beam  i.^de]irossed,tliecon- 
striictioM  preferred  being  such  that  the  springs 
exert  an  increased  lifting  action  as  the  beams 
rise  from  an  operative  to  an  inoperative  posi 
tion. 

I  am  aware  that  springs  liavo  been  applied 
iji  vftrious  ways  to  assist  in  lifting  the  beams 
in  this  class  of  innehines;  but  in  all  eases  their 
arringcment  was  such  that  they  acted  with 
an  increased  lifting  strain  as  tlio  beams  were 
lowered,  tiio  eoiisefjiience  of  which  airange- 
mentwas,  that  the  springs  eserte<l  their  grciit- 
est  upward  strain  when  the  shoVets  were  in  the 
ground,  at  a  tihie  wlieii  it  was  desirable  that  the 
shovels  should  not  bo  lilted,  and  on  the  other 
hand  exerted  but  little  force  when  thebeama 
were  elovateil,  and  wiien  it  was  required  that 
they  should  bo  sustained  to  relievo  the  opera- 
t</r.  This  old  action,  it  will  be  seen,  is  tho  rc- 
vci'so  of  that  which  is  desired,  and  the  prin- 
cipal object  of  n)y  invention  is  to  reverse  the 
old  mode  of  action  and  have  the  springs  act 
with  little  or  no  upward  strain  when  the  shov- 
els are  in  the  ground,  but  with  a  strong  up 
ward  jiressnre  when  the  beams  are  lifted.

able  power,  the  force  or  power  required  for 
this  pnrposo  iucieasing  in  the  same  ratio  as 
tho  distance  from  the  groiuul.  Hence  tho  ob-

by  the  sheave,  raises  the  beams,  so  that  very 
little  power  is  required  for  this  operation  of 
raising  the  beam  or  beams,  as  the  force^of  the 
spring  is  increased  in  exactly  the  same  ratio 
as  that  of  the  resistance  to  be  overcome,  as 
will  more  fully  appear  by  reference  to  the  fol-

It  has  become  common  to  use  springs  in 
cultivators  for  the  purpose  of  partially  sup- 
porting the  plow-beams  when  in  use,  the  tend- 
dency  of  such  springs  being  to  elevate  the 
beams :  hence,  if  the  operator  wishes  to  press 


the  beams  aownwardtoplow  deeper,  ho  has  to 
overcome  the  tension  of  the  springs.

elevate  tho  rear  ends  of  the  beams,  but  when

will  come  into  action  and  will  raise  and  hold 
or  assist  iij  raising  and  holding  the  shovels

Tbe  invention  relates  to  an  improved  man- 
ner of  constructing  the  frame  and  applying 
'.ho  springs  for  the  purpose  of  raising  or  assist- 
i  ingtheoperatortoraisethe  beams  or  drag  bars, 
the  springs  having  in  some  cases  the  addi- 
tional function  of  holding  the  shovels  to  their 
proper  places  in  the  ground. 

Tho  improvement  consists  mainly  in  provid- 
ing the  frame  with  axles  capable  of  rotating 
Independently  of  the  wheels,  coupling  the 
wheels  directly  to  said  axles,  anil  providing 
the  axles  with  arms  arrauge<l  to  cooperate 
with  a  spring,  a  weight,  or  with  draft  devices 
to  which  the  team  is  attached,  as  hereinafter 
more  Adly  explained. 

As  regards  the  combination  of  the  loosely, 
revolving  axles  with  the  beams,  and  lifting 
springs  Qr  other  equivalents,  the  invention  ie 
designed  more  particularly  as  an  improvement 
upon  those  machines  in  which  the  axle  is  sta 
tionaiy  and  the  beams  and  springs  combined 
with  sleeves  or  coupling-box«s  arranged  to  ro- 
tate apon  the  axles. 

One  of  the  primary  objects  of  the  iuventioo 
is  to  8T0id  the  use  of  the  rotating  sleeves  oi 
hoses  mounted  upon  the  axle^  which,  for  va- 
rioos  reasons  unnecessary  to  wetail,  are  oper

1377  is  a  type — that  is  to  say,  in  which  au  ele- 


vated tongue  ia  connected  to  the  Hjipcr  partoC 
a  crank-axle  whoso  lower  ends  are  mounted  up- 
on wheels,  between  which  wheels  and  the  ver- 
tical section  of  the  crank -axle  is  located  a 
coupling  attachment  for  the  i»low8  or  cultiva- 
tors, which  coupling  attachment  is  provided 
with  a  spring  which  co-operates  with  the  lift

My  invention  relates  toau  improvodforinof 
coupling  for  fastening  aud  adjusting  the  for- 
wani  end  of  the  beam  or  plows  to  the  axle  and 
a  spring  aud  draft-lever. 

I  do  not  claim  the  application  of  a  spring  Ic 
Rustain  the  weight  of  a  plow-beam. 

lumyimprovemeuts  I  aimto  overcome  some 
olyectionabie  resnlts  from  springs  now  used  in 
wheeled  cultivators.  That  I  may  be  mure 
readily  nnderstood  1  will  refer  to  tbe  springs 
in  general  ose  and  the  results.  First,  a  spring 
80  constructed  and  adjusted  as  to  exert  au  op- 
ward  or  raising  force  upon  the  plow-beam,  also 
to  exert;  a  downward  or  depressing  force  upon 
the  plow-beam,  depends  for  this  result  upon 
the  plow-beam  passing  above  or  below  a  given 
point.  It  is  apparent,  therefore,  if  the  ground 
be  uneven  the  spring  will  exert  a  force  when 
least  needeti,  or  a  force  in  tbe  opposite  direc- 
tion of  thatrequirod.  Ifa  portion  of  thoground 
be  hard,  as  compared  with  other  portions,  or 
very  soft,  it  will  be  seen  that  springs  of  this 
class  may  work  improperly. 

Another  class  of  springs  iu  general  use  are 
those  which  exert  a  continnous  upward  orrais- 
ing  forceupoutheplow-beam,andin  this  class, 
unless  the  plows  are  firmly  held  in  the  ground 
■by  tbe  operator,  the  tendency  is  for  tho  plows 
to  rise  out  of  the  ground,  or  partially  so,  in 
striking  hard  soil.  The  springs  now  in  com- 
nioD  use  are  constructed  with  otberp.irtssoas 
to  frequently  got  out  of  repair,  and  they  also 
take  up  much  of  the  space  between  the  whcfl 
and  arch. 

Another  objection  existing  in  wheeled  Gul 
tivators  now  in  use  is  the  inability  to  use  au 
arch  of  sufficient  width  to  avoid  injuring  the

My  invention  relates  to  wheeled  cnltivatoi-s 
of  that  class  in  which  the  two  wheels  run  ui>on 
opposite  sides  of  tho  row  of  plants  and  sus- 
tain above  the  same  a  truck  or  frame  work 
having  a  draft  attachment  for  the  team  in 
front  and  i»lows behind,  M-hicharc  attached  to 
and  drawn  by  the  truck,  which  may  or  may 
not  Jiave  a  tongue. 

My  improvements  coiibist,  in-incipally,  in 
the  construction,  arraugomeut,  and  adjust- 
ment of  tlie  plow-beams  and  their  couplings, 
whereby  tho  plows  next  to  the  row  of  plants 
may  be  set  in  a  higher  horizontal  plane,  to 
adapt  them  to  the  elevation  of  the  row  or  ridge 
npon  which  the  plants  are,  and  whereby  the 
plows  may  be  adapted  to  a  niinimura  width  of 
truck  and  still  preserve  the  proper  lateral 
movement  of  the  inner  plows  without  throw- 
ing the  ontcr  ones  agaii>st  the  wheels,  and 
whereby,  also,  the  lateral  movement  of  tlie  in- 
ner plows  is  made  to  have  the  least  eRVct  npon 
the  outer  plows  consietenl  with  tlieir  connec-
